Yea! thrift Store Score!!!

I have been making cloth diapers for "baby on the way".

To make the diapers, I sandwich cotton t-shirt fabric (usually four layers) between cute flannel(which is not easy to find when looking for boy prints) and then, I put elastic at the legs and back and make a doubler to match so that each diaper actually has 12 layers of fabric counting the doubler but only 6 layers when it goes through the wash so it cleans and dries so much easier.

So anyway, I went to the thrift store and asked if they ever bundle old/worn out/holey t-shirts to sell for rags. The nice lady told me that they did not sell them but she would give them to me. She went to the back and brought out huge garbage bag full of t-shirts!!!! WOOHOO!!! She then apologized because that was "all they had" right now but said if I come back in a week or two, she would have a lot more!!

that is exciting :) our big thrills this weekend were in yard sale finds - haven't been to the thrift store lately b/c it's...well...when it gets warm, it's a little gross, and then i want to pass out :) but soon, i will venture back again.
